config.keymaps

For ESXi hypervisors running VNC, you can configure a selection list of VM keyboards, and users can select a keymap from the pulldown list. See VM general information. Configure keymaps in VMware first and then enter the VMware keymap value and a name. See VMware Keyboard Map Documentation. The hypervisor's default keyboard map is the US101 keyboard map (US English). To configure a different default keyboard map, set the RemoteDisplay.vnc.keyMap property in the Abiquo configuration properties for Remote Services and then set the isDefault value to true for that keyboard. Warning: On ESXi for certain locales, when using remote access from a web client, some keystrokes do not translate. See https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2071245

config.protocols

• Predefined values for firewall protocols. 

  • When users edit a firewall rule, they can select from the "Common protocols" as a guide to the standard ports for these protocols. As this is a guide only, users can edit all of the values as required. 

  • The port values for ALL PROTOCOL selections are fixed and users cannot edit the ports after they select these guides. In this case the user can only edit the Protocol and the Sources. To clear the port values, the user can change to another option

To get an idea of how these protocols look in the UI, see Manage firewalls

You must specify the year too. If a specific value is present for the current month and year, the platform will use it; otherwise, it will use the default.

The currencies will display on the dashboard in the order you use in this property, and the first currency will be the default on the dashboard.

For each currency, add a new currencyLabel in each lang_xx_XX_custom.json with the corresponding currencyCode

Ex: "dashboard.lastbills.label.currency.USD":"Dollar",

Otherwise the currency will display as "dashboard.lastbills.label.currency.currencyCode".
